I will spend my free time baking! I love baking cookies and since this is almost the 'cookie' season I will be looking for some new recipes to try. Then I can put them all into little mini books for the family so they will have the recipes.

I'd spend all my free time on my vacation week early December visiting down at my Mom's. She had knee replacement surgery in August and could use some help! I'd love to have my cards all finished up by then so I would feel that they were all taken care of. DeniseB

i would like to have time to make some extra cards to take the the local nursing home for them to give to those who won't get any cards. will probably do this anyway, but would have to rush it and make simpler cards.

Oh, if my cards were already done I would spend more time practicing my Christmas carols on the piano so we can have sing-alongs! And I'd likely make more of my gifts. :-) Thanks so much for the chance to win this class.
